A rare opportunity to become part of the next chapter of one of East Melbourne's most significant addresses.
Kilburn Mansion returns to the corner of Simpson and George Streets as an exclusive collection of just nine exceptional residences, carefully restoring the character and grandeur of this historic landmark for contemporary living.
Within this highly limited collection, this residence is the only two-bedroom home — offering a rare opportunity for those seeking the scale, quality and architectural significance of Kilburn Mansion, in a more intimate format.
Designed by acclaimed Studio Kennon, the residence brings together the enduring character of the original mansion with a refined contemporary approach. Generous proportions, natural stone, warm timber and considered detailing create an interior that is calm, tactile and timeless, with every element carefully selected to complement the building's heritage.
The design philosophy is one of restraint and permanence. Original architectural character is preserved and celebrated, while contemporary interventions sit comfortably alongside the historic structure. The result is a home that feels both deeply connected to its past and perfectly suited to modern life.
Kilburn Mansion is defined by a sense of rarity. Just nine residences occupy this landmark setting, each with its own identity and connection to the building's rich architectural story. The collection has been conceived to feel more like homes than conventional apartments, with generous spaces and a sense of scale increasingly difficult to find in new residential development.
The project brings together an exceptional team. Developed by Abadeen, with architecture and interiors by Studio Kennon, landscape design by horticulturist Teena Crawford and heritage conservation by Lovell Chen, every aspect has been approached with care and respect for the site's history.
Beyond your front door, East Melbourne offers one of Melbourne's most coveted lifestyles. Wide, tree-lined streets, established gardens and heritage architecture create a peaceful residential setting just moments from the CBD. Fitzroy Gardens, the MCG, Powlett Reserve Tennis Centre and the city's cultural and dining destinations are all close by, while Richmond and the Paris end of Collins Street are within easy reach.
Kilburn Mansion has lived many lives since its completion in 1878. Now, following a considered restoration, it begins a new chapter — one defined by heritage, craftsmanship and contemporary living.
For those who appreciate the beauty of authentic architecture, the comfort of considered design and the privilege of owning something genuinely rare, this is an opportunity unlike any other.
